1970 Buick GranSport GSX Re-creation This Buick up for auction is a real GranSport that was made into a GSX recreation. It has an original steel framed GranSport Ram-Air induction hood, and has the cool GSX spoiler. These 60's and 70's muscle cars have incredible investment potential, and have been referred to as rolling bank accounts. This GSX look-a-like is powered by a Big Block Buick 455, but is not believed to be numbers matching. Although being an Olds guy, I never learned how to check the numbers on any Buick's. The quadrajet does have the awesome dual snorkeled ram-air cleaner with new foam seals. There is a brand new exhaust system with new chrome tips welded on each side of the rear pipes. This Buick has dual sport mirrors painted to match the body color. It also has the Buick sport steering wheel. The black bucket seats are in very good condition, so they should be nice and comfortable for many years to come. The entire interior looks really pretty sweet as seen in the pictures. The black carpeting is brand new with the extra sound deadening padding, including a brand new set of four black carpeted deluxe floor mats. The console is the infamous horseshoe shifter, and the headliner was replaced. The headliner needs to be stretched a bit still, so I'm going to try and have that finished by the end of the auction. There is a new dash pad as well with a new GSX emblem above the glove box. All the gaskets around the doors were replaced after the car was painted, including the window seal gaskets, and the trunk gasket. The one year only 1970 GS grille is brand new from The Parts Place with the new three piece chrome trim that surrounds the grille, and a brand new GSX grille emblem. There is a brand new pair of Cooper Cobra P235/60R15 inch raised white lettered tires on the front, and P245/60R15 on the rear mounted on 15 inch Buick chrome sport wheels. All four wheels have the proper center caps for 1970. There is a 10 bolt rear-end, but I am unsure of the gear ratio. There is a pair of air shocks on the rear suspension that seem to be holding air nicely. In my opinion I have not seen an undercarriage this clean on a 44 year old muscle car. This Buick has its original floors that look like about a 10 year old car. The frame appears the same way, and the original trunk floor is in very good condition, and was coated with black and aqua spatter spray to make it appear factory correct. Inside the trunk is a new trunk mat, and a nicely detailed original jack, and crow bar with a full size Cooper Cobra spare on a Buick sport wheel. This way if there is ever a mishap you can be back on the road in minutes looking complete. There is a full set of wheel opening moldings, and the correct GranSport stainless steel lower rocker cover moldings on both sides. The front and the rear bumpers are both brand new with triple plated chrome, and both rear tail lights are brand new. The power steering belt is not on the car, because I think it has the wrong bracket. That minor issue will be left up to the new owner. What you see is exactly what you get! These mostly complete older classics that have survived for over 40 years are becoming harder and harder to find, especially in this color combination. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide currently has the 1970 Buick GranSport listed at $50,255 in high condition, $19,780 in average condition, and $10,637 in low condition. I personally believe this silver and black beauty is in much better than average condition. I received this car in a trade, and I'm not looking to break the bank on this sale deeming the fact that it is being sold at no reserve. I simply need the funds from this sale to clear up some pertinent bills right away. It is imperative that the winner has the funds to follow through with their lucky winning bid according to the auction guidelines. I tried to place all of the factory decals in the proper places to make this cool classic look the way it would have rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into the recreation of this GSX. Whatever this classic sells for in this no reserve auction is a win/win investment. This Buick is an investment that I believe will continue to rise as these cars have shown to consistently escalate in value. These GM A-Body muscle cars are the finest handling cars I have ever driven. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or may just want to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. Here is a prime opportunity to acquire your dream car at a nominal price. I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. This car is being offered at "No Reserve" on a 3-day listing. It will sell to the highest bidder on Sunday evening at 5:00pm Pacific time, 7:00pm Central time, or 8:00pm Eastern time depending on your location. Thank you for taking the time to view my auction. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs
Mon, Oct 2 2017DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.
Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat
Sat, Apr 18 2015Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
2018 Buick LaCrosse gets a mild hybrid model, lower price
Mon, Jun 5 2017Update: Buick provided us with horsepower and fuel economy figures. The text has been updated to reflect this. Buick is rolling out a variety of updates for the 2018 LaCrosse, including a new mild eAssist hybrid. Like the previous generation LaCrosse and Regal eAssist models, this one features a small electric motor and an equally small battery pack that together augment rather than supplant the gasoline engine. The motor, attached to a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, helps to make takeoffs smoother and provide additional torque on demand. The gasoline engine still does the majority of the work, though. Combined, the powertrain produces 194 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. It will also allow the LaCrosse to get 25 mpg in the city, and 35 mpg on the highway. While the electric powertrain doesn't provide primary propulsion, it does come with other benefits. The small battery means the LaCrosse maintains a folding rear seat. The battery also provides power to accessories when the engine shuts off at a standstill. This mild hybrid powertrain will be the standard engine for all 2018 LaCrosses, and they come with a lower base price. The 2018 model will start at $31,415, which is about $1,500 less than the lowest priced 2017 V6 LaCrosse. The V6 will still be available as an option, and Buick has updated it, too. The 2018 V6 models will also all come with a new 9-speed automatic transmission. The new LaCrosses will go on sale this fall. Related Video: Image Credit: Buick Green Buick Hybrid Luxury Sedan
